"My child attended kindergarten at Lamar. She had a wonderful year, learned a great deal and is reading beyond her expected level. The teacher kept in contact with us and updated on behavior and progress. They had many activities for parents to participate in. I noticed many parents participating in the school events. Overall, we had a great experience and hope the next few years go just as well."

"I love this school because of the diversity. My 9 year old attends Lamar and is learning a lot while also developing her creativity. The after school program provided by the YMCA is phenomenal. HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS SCHOOL.."

"The teachers and staff at Lamar are quite friendly and the school does well with discipline. They also have great test scores and parent involvement in the PTO. Coming from another school last year I do find a few things lacking. Some teacher websites have not been updated from last year or are blank. Others have a bare minimum and are rarely added to. They should be used as a weekly or monthly newsletter to help inform parents what students are learning. When serious illnesses go around a class you find out about it when your child starts to mention the number of absences or comes home ill. No notes get sent to inform or warn you. Parents are also very under utilized in classrooms. They are not asked to help with math or reading groups but only to photocopy or be class moms. My son's teacher sent out a form requesting volunteers and I am told none have been contacted as to when they can begin. The school is good but a few small changes can make it great."

"My son attends Lamar this year, and we could not be happier with the teachers and administration at this school. Every single staff member is very caring and they make sure the kiddos have the best possible school experience."

"We moved to this school from a wonderful school system in another state. It has been an excellent transition for my other children who attend other schools, however, Lamar has been much more difficult. The faculty punish students for poor benchmark performance and give detention to students who do not perform well. The also give soda and candy to those who do well on practice STARR tests and ridicule those who do not. It's academically a good school but they test and prepare for the standardized testing so much that they lose focus and site of what is important."
